Talks bear little fruit
Agreement to meet again is a small ray of hope.
The ultimate goal of the six-way talks on North Korea's nuclear program is to bring about a nuclear-weapons-free Korean Peninsula through diplomacy. To succeed, it is vital to define the conditions and methods under which Pyongyang would agree to dismantle its nuclear capabilities. We must also determine how Japan, the United States, South Korea, China and Russia can ease the anxieties that the North has regarding the safety of its system.
